Add message when running task with no arguments (#6731)

# Description of Changes
Add message describing the most common tasks when running `task` with no
arguments. I think this should help newcomers because `task --list` is
massive at this point and nobody's going to read through it all. Let me
know if you think any other commands should be in the default message.
